I dont ever watch my boost guage anymore... get studs tighten down real tight and forget about the boost guage... my opinion....

A boost guage will not help you monitor headgasket failures in any way. While I would advise to have one so you can monitor many other things on your truck it will not help you with that. You can loose gaskets with just an edge box. Hell you can loose one on a stock motor. You can also have 80psi on gaskets with stock head studs. Ask me how I know. I have personally seen all the above happen.
